bill was introduced in the House yesterday
and some measure of that description viii
unquestionably pass. The first bill to pass
the Senate was one Of those ''strictly local
measures whiehcol,stantly sipthrough unt
der suspension OF the rules and often mean a
good deal more than is indicated in their
face. This one authorizes st Paul to build
al up town bridge over the Mississippi.
IL the House the>proceedings were highly
unimportaut With the exception OF bin
their gross earnings everything purely
local: The speaker needs more time to ''I1S
up his committees and hence there is moth
ing to he gained by rushing i'll bills.
BY noon both Houses had adjourned un.
til Tuesday and by night three fourths of
the members had gone home.
SIR. Paul, Jan II, 1887.
The members of the legislature returned
apparently refreshed after their brief vaca-
ton. The Senate gave evidence of deter
mlnatlon to inaugurate economy by refuS-
ing. to vote themselves SO each for postage,
and also by passing resolution ask
Ing the committee ON retrenchment to re-
port bills making the Oil Inspector and sur
veyorsr of logs and lumber salaried officers,
turning the fees over to the State The
on the Cullom Interstate commerce bill.
Senator Pope of Blue Earth offered joint
resolution asking Minnesota Senators
and shs n; Raprsssntatyss to support
under suspension of the rules. In the House
Mr.: Donnelly offered a different joint reso-
luton but of the same purport. A long de-
bate followed led by Rogers of st. Paul in
opposition, but the resolution passed with
fs the ssr roa vG1e6 th BY s the
ate that body was in the act Of adjourning.
So each House acted on different joint
resolution and day was lost to get con-
currence during which the U: s. Senate
will probably vote on the biu. AS both Of
our Senators have declared IN favor of the
bill the delay is not likely to make
large shower of bulls offered in both houses.
Senator Bowen offered bill defining how
State officers can have their elections con-
tested. Perhaps this is, the result of DR..
week. In the House bills were offered COM
befors noon moe pAe of each Mo Dage on
in case of default then the Indebtedness, is
to draw interest: also abclisbing the State
lutely passed was one appropriating $780,
600 f. legislative expenses. This bill is
always an early bird. The end Of the Sec
ond week is the first pay day, including
ten days services and mileage, and there
after the per diems are paid each ten days.
machinery fabricated SO that it works i'll
tranquil manner. The Senate will put the
bill through tomorrow under suspension
of the rules and it will be a law before
the Governor goes to dinner:
session bids fair to be a busy one.
